This place pulls everyone in: locals, regulars, first-timers, every background, every energy. Drinks quickly dropped, smooth service, tabs checked, and transparent transaction taking. If you want a bar where the crowd is diverse, the service is consistent, and the atmosphere is always moving, this is the place. Oleg serves a great drink. He can carry a conversation for hours if you need someone to talk to on a lonesome night. Thanks to Sam for being a real one on the Ossington Strip!
Great all around. Service was very kind. Atmosphere was nice. As someone who really does not like loud booming music interfering with conversation, it wasn’t so loud that you could not have a conversation. Which I find is a common issue with restaurants on Ossington lol. The food was great. We really enjoyed the fried chicken. The only thing I’d say is if you’re looking to have a big meal, maybe this isn’t the place. This place is definitely meant for just small snacks and drinks. Will definitely be back!
This spot delivers every time. The atmosphere is inviting, the music fits the room perfectly, and the food comes out consistently delicious and quickly. The service is the standout. Sam is easily the best server in the city — sharp, personable, and completely dialed in. Timing, pacing, and attention to detail from greeting at the door to payment at the end are all seamless. This place is going to take off, and it’s an incredible addition to the Ossington Strip.
Awesome small Korean fusion resto from the same owners of Odd Seoul and Neon Tiger! Service is excellent and most dishes were great, some with an Indian twist
Absolutely love this place, the music, food and overall vibe is really good. It’s small but a gem with huge potential. One thing they do need to however improve on is their service. The server was really nice but she had way too much to do. It’s not a big place so someone a bit more experienced could probably handle it better but even if they just hired 1 extra person to help run things it would help hugely. We waited like 40 mins for 1 meal at the end then about 20mins after 1 of us had paid because the server left to do other things and was busy before the rest of us could pay just leaving the machine on the table. And lastly to the owner….please fix all the spelling errors on your menu!! For a nice place it just loses the vibe you’re trying to achieve.
Pretty good cocktails! We had the xyz, espresso flip and of course I had to request for French 75! The bites we had were so tasty and I loved seeing them plate the food! Underrated food menu tbh. We had the bang on shrimp and TFC. Would definitely come back to try the others.
Sam was amazing, her service was top quality. I felt like she was hosting me at her home. Relaxed yet professional. The bartender was also on par. The food was great, atmosphere is perfect for a nice intimate connection with friends. My new favourite spot!
Fantastic spot. Chill vibe. The cocktails are fabulous, and go down way too easily . Love that most of the menu stays under the $20 point. We had the 108 Burger and the Tikka Fried Chicken. Loved them both, with a special nod to the chicken. Definitely one of the city's best! The service was also top notch. Highly recommend! Menu in pics.
